15 Days with the Bianci White Beach Ceramic - Final Report

And another 15 days have come and gone here in Santa Barbara, and it is time to sum up the past two weeks spent with the Bianci White Beach Ceramic chronograph.

So a few adjectives to describe this timekeeper - comfortable, accurate, legible - and eye catching.
Let's start with the comfort factor - for those of you who have had more than a few watches you will agree that not every watch is going to feel equally good on every wrist.  The Bianci White Beach was very, very comfortable right away.  As I've said earlier, I was not entirely sure how I would feel about ceramic, but it was very, very comfortable!  The bracelet is very well balanced and the utilization of a butterfly style clasp is the perfect pairing.

Accurate - I know, it is easy to say that of course a quartz watch will be accurate, but it can happen sometimes that quartz watches that are not "time only" can have a few hiccups - but not so with this ISA Swiss quartz watch.  Our Thanksgiving turkey turned out perfectly and the University of Oregon had perfect timing.

Legibility is something that you might question owing to the all white dial, sub dial and bracelet.  But in fact instead of a "white out" effect, the dial is clear and easy to read.

And last but not least - eye catching.  I was actually curious to see what it would be like to wear an all - white watch exclusively for a few weeks and this was actually a lot of fun!  The watch received quite a few compliments and several folks who wanted to know where to get one.

Last of all, and it is something that I am sometimes wary of, but it has to be said - this watch is a watch that a LOT of people can actually afford.  When I started this little "bloggy-wog" I wanted to cover all types of watches, and as this watch is also available for purchase directly from Bianci, it is a great option for a lot of folks out there.

Bianci at the beach - sort of

As it is Friday and it is California this seemed like an appropriate theme. In the interest of full disclosure, we are a good 2 miles from the beach, but we are there in spirit today from the back patio.

So some more details about the Bianci I am wearing this week - like the last chronograph that "guest starred" tis one is a quartz watch, powered by an ISA movement.  It is very, very easy to operate and so far has performed flawlessly.

I suppose that the deck chair is also an appropriate backdrop to the Bianci owing to its comfort.  I will be completely honest here - I was not 100% sure how I would like the feel of a ceramic bracelet.  I am stating here clearly and definitively, this is a REALLY comfortable bracelet!  And I am further impressed by how well it is holding up - I have brushed against more than a few "obstacles" and no scratches!  Not even from my daily "desk-diving" - well done Bianci!

It will face two critical (at least at the Henki house) tests next week - Thanksgiving Dinner - yes I am suiting up and will get the bird ready, and then then the Ducks of Oregon will try to remain perfect.  I will, of course, keep you updated on both sets of results (sadly at least one of the aforementioned birds will not be having an undefeated season) - and of course those of the watch!
